Thank you, thank you. Sarcasm alert: it would be helpful zotope put anything about that in the Mixing module. Here's what the online manual gives: Overview Provides specific control over both left and right signal and balance levels. This simple operation can be used to downmix stereo material into mono, invert waveforms, transcode left/right stereo into mid/side, subtract a center channel, and much more. There's nothing about HOW to perform any of those tasks. Thanks again!

I posted this in the general forum, then saw the question about isotope users, so I’m posting here. Here is my situation: I brought in a stereo guitar track to RX 8. The Mixing module allows you to convert to Mono. I select that and Render. It says file created successfully, but when drag it in (or go the Import Audio route), it's still in stereo. Am I missing something? Yes, I know I can convert to Mono in CW, but I'm doing a few other things in RX8 with hiss and hum and would like to take care of all of it in one session. Thanks for any help.

@bitflipper With the OP’s question answered, curious to know your thoughts on something related to Music Rebalance, which I have in an RX app. do you think a stem produced by this, say the bass from a favorite band’s song, is high fidelity enough to use as a basis for tone matching in various Izotope products? I’ve tried it and it seems pretty “washy.“ Artifacts, no doubt.

Found the answer from @abacabhere:

I watched a YT video on using engineer Bob Katz's metering system (a better measure of loudness with vagaries of human hearing accounted for), and the the guy in the tutorial was using Studio One. With a right-click on his master bus meter, he had the three iterations of the K system (K -20, K -14, K -12) as an option, along with the standard RMS and Peak . From what I've learned, there are a lot of reasons to leverage the K System... at least have it as an option. It is not currently available in CbB (we have to use third-party plugins, further adding to CPU load), but I hope we can get the option in a future update.

Working in Superior Drummer 3. Follow host is on. Often, but not always, the problem is that the scrolling timeline doesn’t match the sound generated by the hits/MIDI events in SD3’s Midi grid. When the hit generates the sound (say, the snare) the timeline is visually and noticeably past the midi event that triggered that sound. Makes it really hard to fine tune anything, as it’s trial and (frustratingly) error. The processing load on the engine/CPU is not that heavy, but it seems latency is at play. The buffer size is at the highest possible. Is there a setting I can adjust to get things to line up? Plugin delay compensation? Thanks.

Thanks for weighing in everyone. I think I'll just sit tight for now on Win 10. Things are generally working well. Why invite headaches! 😊

Being offered a free update to Windows 11. I'm thinking, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." My computer is 99% CbB use. Anyone on Win 11 seeing advantages or disadvantages with things like plugin compatibility, improved CPU efficiency, or anything else? Thanks.

No worries. Izotope said it is a known issue and set me up with the previous version, which works fine.

This is very interesting, and must make WAVES with their $4K Grid Server very nervous. 😬 If you’re “offloading “ plug-ins from “inside” CW to the same machine, how does that make a difference with CPU load? Isn’t CW tapping the CPU to run plugins, just like this system does?

I’m pairing a 32” Sony TV with a 27” Dell and it’s fine. I think these days you can get a TV monitor for less than a computer monitor in terms of screen size. Both mine are 1920x1080.

WORKAROUND: The VST2 version seems to work, where the VST3 is the one causing the crash.

Confirmed by CW tech support. VST3 is causing the crash. Will try VST2 and see how that goes. Have reached out to Ample Sound.

I sent the dump file via the recommended channel, but, meantime, curious if anyone who's using Ample Guitar's riffer function is having this issue and has resolved it? CbB simply blinks off (crashes) and shuts down. No error message, no momentary hang and then shuts down. It simply blinks off. Gone. Early in project, so system is hardly taxed at all. Superior Drums, EZ Bass a couple of guitars. No heavy duty plugins to speak of, yet. EDIT: Ample Sound Guitar

First, for someone speaking English as a second language, your English is very good! I understand now. What you have built here is amazingly helpful! Thank you!

@1031 This is fantastic! The only thing I don't understand is: You can move by chromatic scale by pressing the page up key and page down key when selecting." If I insert a "D" into the articulation pane, and I want to change it to "E," is this what you're talking about ?

Can it be any worse than Waves update plan?😄

Rim shot! 😂 And don’t forget to tip your bartenders and waitresses!

Thank you for the information and the zip file... looks like you put in a lot of work on this!

I read in the Deals forum, that individuals can't list things for sale there. Is there another area to do that in the community? Or, does anyone know of an active online community where people buy/sell plugins/licenses, VSTs/licenses, etc? I'm in that boat. Thanks.

This is interesting to me. It would be handy to have a chord guide like this visible as you build a song with various instruments. How are you getting what looks like the Arranger to be visible in the PRV? Are the chord blocks placed there by the “fake chord” articulation map? This would be a big time saver, as opposed to having to place the chords of the entire song structure manually using an added Arranger lane.

Eager to try this. Hoping it will work with Ample Guitar RB, the Rickenbacher VSTi. I’m thinking the keyswitch articulations are all the same across the various guitar models. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks!

Hi all. I know there’s an area for articulation maps, but I can’t find it. Anyone have the link? Thanks.
